Cai Yun (Simplified Chinese: 蔡赟, pinyin: Cài Yūn, born January 19, 1980 in Jiangsu) is a male badminton player from the People's Republic of China.

Combining impressive speed with impressive power Cai and his regular partner Fu Haifeng have been one of the world's leading men's doubles teams since 2004. They have won numerous top tier events on the world circuit including the venerable All England Championship in 2005 and the BWF World Championship in 2006. Cai and Fu have played doubles for Chinese Thomas Cup teams that have swept the last three editions (2004, 2006, 2008) of this biennial men's world team competition. Cai and Fu competed together in both the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals in 2004, and in 2008 in Beijing were silver medalists, losing a close final to Indonesia's Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan.
